Garden Arbor

We have had our share of high winds
and rain this year. The other evening we had lots
of large tree branches down. So we decided
to use these branches to make a  garden arbor.
We started by digging some holes 18" deep
at the edge of our garden 
we cut 4, 8 ft branches and started our arbor
We cut smaller pieces and put them across
the top for a roof
 Then we added sides 
When the arbor was complete our little neighbor 
girl wanted her picture taken 
standing in the arbor.
We then decided it needs some fence along the sides
its not perfect but we like it.
I planted a wisteria plant in hopes it will
grow over the arbor 

and perhaps
add some plants in front of the fence.
Looking at this picture I think it needs a sign hanging on the arbor
"Welcome to my garden"
or a little bird house sitting on the fence post.
 I'll try and keep you posted as to what I do.
but for now this is what it looks like.

love and blessings
